Does it have the EODAS?

I dont know, what I know from Indonesian side is that the heat from engine will be difficult to be detected. The weapon heat can be detected as well, but at least we build semi internal weapon so half of the missile body will be inside the fuselage, later I believe block 1 can be easily upgraded into full stealth version since the belly part is made in modular

well done to South Korea and also Indonesia who has invested in this project to buy over 50 x KF-21 fighters towards the end of the decade

South Korea itself is looking at over 100 units

overall a great milestone

looks like the F22 Raptor

EOTS is something which would make it invincible.

It looks like a good start for the KFX/IFX programme, lets see how the testing goes and what the subsequent bloks will offer.
